It was a great trip. We visited the sights listed and lunch was excellent. - Visiting the history of the area. Small groups are always better. The location of the missionary house was stunning. We enjoyed the garden, and the restaurant was just right.

I'll be back - The stone house and lunch near the river were amazing. The waterfalls were so beautiful, if I had more time I would have loved to jump in.

Excellent day out. - This was an excellent day out and a great way to explore the local area. Our driver/guide was great and imparted a lot of information. The fact that there were only eight of us made it a great experience and the fish and chip lunch was superb, as was the local beer. Highly recommended.

Very enjoyable - This tour was probably the best of our tours in NZ. The area was beautiful and Bill our tour guide very informative which resulted in a very enjoyable experience. Would have been nice to also spend some time in Piahia but we ran out of time, this because of the ship schedule and not the tour provider. We had to be back on board our Princess cruise by 4pm which seemed very early

Historic Keririkeri tour - Our tour guide Ken took us on a wonderful tour of the Bay of Islands, the glow worm caves was a highlight, so too the toilet designed by Hundertwasser. Ken was extremely professional and knowledgeable about this beautiful area of New Zealand

Kerikeri Tour - Haruru and Rainbow Falls were picturesque. Glad we saw them. The description was misleading as it indicated it would be a guided tour at the mission house and it was not. Tour guide was nice and informative as we were going from place to place.

Good but not worth the expense. - Rainbow Falls were good as well as the Stone Store and Kemp House being the oldest building in NZ. Derek, our guide, was very good. The lunch was under average with one piece of fish and chips and the chocolate factory was quite small. The four hour tour was good but definitely not worth the $185.

Started 45 minutes late for tardy passengers - This was probably the worst tour I’ve ever been on. Waited forty-five minutes beyond tour start time to wait for passengers booked on a different tour. Was told it wouldn’t cut the tour length down but did not stop at end for photos as stated in description. The oldest building in New Zealand was not kept up well or worth seeing. The lunch was good, however. Rainbow Falls was worth seeing but not the other one included. Waste of time and money. Should never wait that long for late passengers with a hard departure time like we had
